A Clermont man was jailed after posting details about his sexual relationship with a minor on Facebook.

Paul Adam Berry, 24, was arrested by Lake County deputies last week after he and the minor both posted on their Facebook profiles at the same time that they "just had the best sex of (their lives)" on Oct. 18.

When she was questioned by a deputy, the minor said she knew Berry's age and any sex between them was consensual and never forced. A few days after speaking with the deputy, she continued writing how much she loved Berry on her Facebook page. Berry told a deputy he knew the girl's age, and that family members warned him the age difference could get them in trouble. Berry said the couple even broke up after law enforcement and state Department of Children and Families officials told them they couldn't be together.

Berry was being held on $50,000 bail and faces charges of lewd or lascivious battery.
